It appears that this very popular festival is already set up and ready to go: Home
I'm going to try and go early this year.
I'm counting on you C-D folks - at least one of you better go to TOS and eat lots of food for me!! I wish I could come up, but I have lots going on this weekend including a festival in my neighborhood. So someone please eat extra for me!
It is a ford PATS transponder key. I ordered one one eBay and don't want to pay the dealer $100 to cut it and program it.
I did this on my previous Ford car ... the problem was finding a place to do it. Most big box stores will chase you out with a gun ... saying that they will be liable or some sort or garbage.
In regards to cities, it does matter, as cities have different laws to deal with in regards to annexation.
What your talking about is laws and history, with the unwillingness to change those laws which may be stifling growth. Population growth is mathematical, you have a certain area with a certain number of people. Whether laws are involved makes no difference- Buffalo *could* annex but does not.

Yes laws make a difference when talking about city population. Buffalo is 40 square miles, while Raleigh is 142 square miles. Different states have different laws that limit or allow annexation, with the only exception being to essentially do what Jacksonville, Nashville and Indianapolis did by consolidating the city and county, for the most part. It isn't a tit for tat comparison and here is an example of how annexation or city/county consolidation can impact population: Some VERY interesting Nashville Population Numbers - SkyscraperPage Forum Now imagine the type of city Nashville would be if it was in NY State or another state that doesn't allow cities to annex or don't consolidate the city and county.

You're still missing my point. Take 142 square miles around Buffalo, the growth is still no where near the growth in Raleigh, Nashville, Austin, etc. That's the point.
I'm not even saying that that amount of growth is necessarily good.
Do you think we are witnessing a reverse migration, where people went to cities like Buffalo and Detroit in the early to mid 20th century, only now its all going South? I believe we are. Its happening. The difference will be that we are no longer relying on one industry (automotive). Its now all types of industries, so there's less chance of a bust.
I wonder what that will mean for old Rustbelt cities.

I know what you are saying, but many people just moved to the suburbs from the city in the Buffalo area. Many areas people would move to would be outer city neighborhoods in a city like Raleigh. I didn't say that the growth would be the same, but you also have to consider the differences between cities as well.
It will be interesting to see what COL will be in many of these Southern areas in a decade or so, as costs are already on par with, if not higher than "Rust Belt" areas, which were necessarily based in one industry. Then, you have to consider infrastructure and other factors as well. Trends change all of the time. So, who knows?

So far, I've had Jerk Chicken Leg from the Jamerican Diner, a Beef Patty from Jerk Hut and Falafel Patties with Tahini from King Davids. I'm looking to try something outside of the box though.

The huge difference is the reliance on one or two monolithic industries. We seemed to have learned our lesson from that. I don't think they're will ever be a mass exodus back to a cold, cloudy, and snowy location, now that there is A/C and modern building in the South.

That wasn't necessarily the issues with the Rust Belt, which don't have monolithic cities in that regard. Manufacturing was a big part of those areas, but there were other industries that play a bigger part in these areas now.
Weather is just one aspect. Resources, location/geography and even social aspects are some things to consider.

Yum! I always forget that it's on Friday too since I always went on Sat. I just looked at the sample menu and someone has maple bacon icecream. The fried risotto balls are back too - those were pretty good. And there's a salt potato pizza?
